Procedural Terrain Generator for Roblox

This is a procedural terrain generator, that doesn't utilize default Roblox terrain. It's designed to be orthogonal and easy to integrate into other projects. This generator can generate not only a terrain, but also rivers, lakes and forests. Generator uses exponentially destributed Perlin noise with domain warping to generate a heightmap.

Created using Rojo

Download and usage

All modules are linked with relative pathes, and it means that they can be placed anywhere you want (keeping the original structure).

There are already built .rbxlx places with example-of-use script and .rbmx model files in Releases tab. However, you can also build it yourself:

Building the project

Building this project is not necessary, latest release can be dolwnloaded in Relseases tab.

1. Dependencies

To build this project you'll need Bash, GNU Make, curl, unzip utilities and Internet connection.

If you are on Windows, it is recommended to use Git Bash that comes with Git (it's just simplier to install and includes all these utilities). If you don't want to use it, install these utilities using MinGW Get or Cygwin.

If you are on Linux, then all utilities except GNU Make are probably already installed. On Debian-based and Ubuntu-based destributions it can be installed with this command: sudo apt-get install make

If you are on MacOS, then all these utilities can be installed using Homebrew. After you installed Homebrew, run these commands:

brew install curl
brew install make
brew install unzip

2. Building

After you'll make sure that all these utilities are installed, open Bash, go to project root directory (where Makefile is located at), and build the project using:

make command, that will build .rbxlx file, containing all necessary project files

make test command if you want to build a test place with example-of-use script.

If you are using MacOS and installed GNU Make using Homebrew, you should use gmake and gmake test commands instead.

The make utility will download all other dependencies (currently only Rojo) and build the project.
